The J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center is dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through therapeutic horse-related programs.

J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center Volunteer Information

The Lesson Volunteers work directly with the Instructors or Therapists to provide assistance prior to and during lessons. The main responsibilities include participating in the lesson by leading the horse or sidewalking, and grooming and tacking the horses. What a wonderful opportunity to work outside with our clients and horses.

Under the direction of the administrative staff, office volunteers assist in the administrative function of the organization, which may include helping with mailings, data entry, filing or answering phones.

Working with the Development Department and/or event chairperson, these volunteers staff and help plan our exciting special events like the Annual Black Tie Gala, Annual Country BBQ and Riders' Cup Golf Tournament. These events make an impact with directing the community's attention and support to the Center.
